If I make a partial payment will that restart my chargeoff date? I am trying to settle with Discover and Chase and am looking to buy sometime.


Sometimes it can. It depends on the bank and your situation. The only way to know for sure is to actually speak with the bank and negotiate that. For instance, they are offering a settlement and you don't have the money until after charge off. With some banks, making a payment can allow them to extend the charge off a little further out.

However, don't just make a blind payment hoping to extend the charge off. Also you can try negotiating the settlement in 3 to 6 payments, that will buy you some time and get the deal before charge off.
